Hellfire and damnation raged over Vienna. As the struggling German occupiers paused to catch their breath, a final wave of exhausted Austrians surged through No-Man's-Land, wading through the Kraut artillery and into their enemies trenches. The battle carried into the streets of the city, and the citizens cheered as they saw their bedraggled troops return home - the Germans returning once more to the mountain passes of Tyrolia.

Meanwhile, in Paris at the broad end of the Champs Elysees the Kaiser excitedly jabbed his finger towards the towering form of the Arc d'Triomphe. "I want one," he demanded. The French President, standing beside him, nodded.

"Oui. This, we do."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brave struggles in the east are undercut by French movement in the west. But you never know - miracles can happen.

One retreat to worry about after the Spring moves - the French fleet in the Mid Atlantic was dislodged and needs to find a new home. Felix, I've set the deadline for Sunday, October 7th (11:59 PM GMT). I will adjudicate sooner if you get me a retreat marked final.

Cheers everyone. Please let me know if you spot an error.
